Open Darkness

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan - Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated...

I am heart broken.

I did not know Ms Bhutto. I did not know her political views. I did not know her social views. I did not know her religious views.

I believed that in an open and democratic process Ms Bhutto represented the possibility of change.

I believe that Ms Bhutto was singled out as much for her gender as for any other value she may have held or supported.

I believe that Pakistan _and_ the world has lost an opportunity to grow.

We, as a world society, are less for this atrocity.
